Inchoate

Rebecca CairnsInchoate

[in-koh-it]: being only partly in existence; imperfectly formed; formless; not yet completed

Rebecca Cairns 'Inchoate' is a direct passage into the unformed, incomplete and indefinite states of human existence. Image by image the observer is submerged into a dream state, one that drifts through a series of beautifully mystifying experiences, and wakes just short of reality. The presence and absence of form in Cairns images exhibit a clear understanding of the isolation and dissociation experienced by the human body through time and space.

A 2011 graduate of the Creative Photography Program at Humber College, Cairns has shown in several group shows over the past year and has appeared in various publications. Her work has also been exhibited internationally in France, England and Vienna. To add to her credentials, Cairns has a self-published book of photographs and personal writing entitled 'Ghost'.
